The future is now! Wienerberger unveils ground breaking AluGrip-Roll

15 Oct 2015
News

Following months of innovation, Wienerberger, the leading supplier of wall, roof and landscaping innovations, is set to launch AluGrip-Roll, a unique product that offers an immense improvement on the standard cloth ridge rolls currently used by roofers in the UK.

Manufactured from aluminium, AluGrip-Roll is easier to use, faster to install and is more durable than its cloth alternatives.

Furthermore, AluGrip-Roll offers greater ventilation than its cloth counterparts and although it has been developed exclusively by Wienerberger, it is compatible with any roof tiles, not just those from the Sandtoft range.

In addition AluGrip-Roll comes vacuum-sealed ensuring that the glue is kept in a prime condition and as fresh as the day it was applied.

AluGrip-Roll is guaranteed to have a lifespan of at least 30 years, compared to traditional cloth ridge rolls that only have a lifespan of, on average, 10 years.

The modernisation and development behind AluGrip-Roll demonstrate Wienerberger’s commitment to industry leading innovation.

Richard Bishop, Category Marketing Manager for Roof at Wienerberger, commented: "We are delighted with AluGrip-Roll as it clearly showcases Wienerberger’s commitment to innovation and product development. This new-to-the-market and completely unique system is a vast improvement on standard cloth ridge rolls. In a nutshell, roofers will have all the benefits of quicker and easier installation and durability without having to worry about any cost increases.

In addition to the already considerable list of benefits, AluGrip-Roll will also replace the cloth ridge rolls found in the Sandtoft Multiversal Kit without impacting on the price – in short it’s a far superior product for the exact same price."
